Re: [ANN][RIC] Riecoin: constellations POW *CPU* HARD FORK successful, world record
I am genuinely impressed here, to be honest though your group seems to be the engine for the 3 Math coin projects. Primecoin tried pump and dump developers months back, and Gapcoin is good which I have learned to hack it together using Trisquel OS, it will break down soonish.
I am glad and did not expect to get such a favorable reply from your group.
I am trying to spearhead the Sha512 working group for Gapcoin, if you guys want to port that to Riecoin that should gain the same benefits as well as Primecoin.
We could Follow up Bitcoin to 0.17 Core except change the Algo from 32 bit Sha256 to 64 bit Sha512 for automatic speed up of the miners.
[...]
Ok, so I tried compiling Riecoin 16.3 I got a couple errors. Maybe it is because I am using Boost 1.58 from Trisquel OS?
I will just post them here.............

Care to explain in detail what benefits (also how/why) we would get with Sha512?
People had problems compiling because they had OpenSsl 1.1 instead of 1.0.
As Trisquel seems to be based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian, in which compilation works fine, I do not really know what is the issue. Maybe your distribution version is just too old?
You may have a bit more luck using my own Deb64 binary, though there will be some shared libraries dependencies.
I have played a lot of games with Riecoins and 6-tuplets over the last five years, and when a new miner comes out, it certainly deserves to be tested. My initial experiences with rieMiner 0.9:
The binaries run without problems on both Intels and AMDs, using both Windows 7, 8 and 10 and Ubuntu 16.04. The source code compiles on my Ubuntu 16.04 - without a hitch! Copy files, type make, and watch the build! Yes, I already had the prerequisite libraries and stuff. And my compiled code runs just as well as pttn's binaries. I haven't tried a Windows build - yet.
On my Ryzen 1700, benchmarks show about 20% performance increase compared to fastrie. In actual mining, rieMiner 0.9 seems to do even better than that, although it is difficult to find equal circumstances for comparison.
Pttn and Rockhawk have done a great and thorough job rewriting the miner. For me, penetrating the new code will be a challenge, though. Personally, I prefer the procedural programming style of Jh00 and dga and get slightly nauseous whenever I meet double colons, namespaces, classes and suchlike.
But - disregard any negative thoughts from a grumpy oldtimer. Obviously, if someone completely rewrites, improves and restructures an existing system, he should be allowed to use whichever paradigm he prefers or finds necessary. Well done!
I usually dont mine riecoins any more. It is probably cheaper to buy them than to mine them these days. This Christmas however, as a small token of appreciation, I have fired up all the systems I have available (connecting to ublock.it) and have directed all the output to pttn's payout address:
RPttnMeDWkzjqqVp62SdG2ExtCor9w54EB
And folks, have a closer look at that address! I didn't know you could do that - Cool!

So it was you who sent me these coins! Thank you a lot
! I will distribute some to Rockhawk as he also deserves a part of it (or you can do it yourself, RVSDWEaxH3gjEqgYVAvdaNunVq7zzDivwH)!It warmed my heart to read your feedback, I am glad that you appreciate rieMiner 0.9!
Honestly, I find that the previous code was hard to work with and needed reorganization. I would personally have a lot of trouble to add cleanly Solo Mining and Benchmark Mode (and many of the new features) in the fastrie style. Also, only basic Oop concepts are used.
It is a "Vanity address", I used VanityGen+ to generate it.
